Josh Marino
Josh Marino is a decorated military veteran, having earned multiple commendations, medals and awards during his 8+ years of active duty, including the Army Achievement Medal, the Combat Action Badge, the Army Commendation Medal, several Good Conduct Medals, and a Purple Heart. Josh was wounded in battle in Iraq when an explosive detonated within feet of him. Multiple concussions sustained from the attack led to constant headaches and he developed extreme anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Suffering in silence from these “invisible wounds,” Josh reached the point where he had decided to end his life. That’s when a small meow from the bushes outside his barracks changed everything. Josh named the kitten Scout, and the two are featured in the film, “Josh & Scout” from animal-welfare initiative Mutual Rescue.
